Hoyt03 Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 I'm looking to get a comp-n-choke for my mossberg 835 turkey gun w/ a 26" barrell. Does anyone use this combo and how did it work for you. I know every gun is different, so if one works mine may not but just looking for feedback. I mostly shoot #5 and 6's so i'm debating between the XXXfull .670, or the XXfull with a .680. My gun throws a decent pattern now with the ultifull choke that came with the gun, but i'm looking to increase my effective pattern distance. I'd like to hear some feedback before I spend 60$ on something that may not work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeNRA Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 My 835 likes the C-N-C XXX Full with Winchester Supreme's 3.5" #6. Sometime before the season, if your in my area. I can let you shoot it out of your gun. If you like you can buy one. If not, then I saved you $60 bucks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoyt03 Posted January 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Thanks John, I'm going to have to take you up on that offer plus the bow tuning session. I'm not working in Lancaster anymore so we will have to see when I can make it to that area. How did #5's shoot out of that xxxfull? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PA_RIDGE_RUNNER Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Hoyt03 I have a comp-n-choke but it is installed on a Win 1300 with a 22 in bbl. I ordered mine direct from comp-n-choke by phone. At that time the guy asked me a whole bunch of questions about what I was going to use it for. Length of shell. Type of shotgun. What shot I was planning on using and so forth. After I answered all the questions he told me what choke would be best for my application. Boy was he right. My gun came with a win xxfull winchoke which I had already patterned. When my comp-n-choke arrived it was .655. I thought man that is really tight but screwed it on and had at it. Essentially what I got was a 30 yd pattern at 50 yds. Yep I was sold from that time on. I have killed about a dozen turkeys since that time and only missed one by not letting it come about 5 yards closer. My longest shot was a shot at 55 yds but have since learned to let them come closer. Most of my shots were less than 30 yds. At that range I had to install truglo sights and use my shotgun as a rifle. I am a firm believer that my comp-n-choke is the best I could have purchased. Yes I am a little biased.

Born2Hunt Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 I have the Comp-N-Choke xxfull for my 26" 835 and I shoot #5's with very good success. 125 hits in a 10 inch circle at 40 yds but it will also cover the side of a barn at that distance so I'm going to try the xxx full so it will leave a few more feathers on a Turkey.

Guest turkeynutz64 Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 My bro-in-law uses a undertaker choke .655 in his moss.835 He has tried several chokes in his and that one works the best! I use a single shot 20g. xxfull custom 28" barrel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkinslinger Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 If in your budget..take a look at the Pure Gold .670. That is what I have found to work well with my old 835 and now with my new 935 shooting 6 shot of Win Elite and Hevi 13 3.5". Make sure if you go the 13 route you buy the new 2 1/4 oz loads in the bronze shell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
